several physicians treated me until large
sums of money mad been expended, but not
one particle of good did any one give me.

ST. LOUIS continues her grip on Sun
day observance. No beer could be had
at any OF the usual Sunday haunts, the
gardens were very largely deserted when
it WAS found none could be had and the
railroads carried immense throngs into
the country. Hotels served wine for
dinner but the clubs had full swing, they
not coming under the restrictions Of the
law. Schneider's garden was opened as
a test at a. m, but before 10 O'Clock his
bar was closed and he mad given $4,000
for his appearance to answer the charge
of violating the Sunday ordinance. 1t
does not seem that the attendance at
church was increased by the strict en-
forcement OF the law.

Piantln. au Orchard.

The first thing to do on gong to plant an orchard is to break up the land as deep as possible, and then mark out the rows both ways, and as straight as possible, with a two-horse turning plow-the rows to be not less than thirty feet apart. Right here it were well to say that mora orchards have been injure d by the trees being planted too close than from all other causes combined, for the reason that in . few years the roots will meet, and. having no fresh soil in which to seek their food, they come to a standstill, and the trees, ekiug out miserable existance, finally die of pure starvation. Dig the holes at the intersection of the rows not less than two feet square, and barely deep enongh to allow the tree to stand as deep but no deep CT than it stood 1n the nursery, taking care in setting each tree not to crowd the roots. but allow ing them to take their natural DO sition, as much so as before they were dug. After which cover the roots with fine rich mold procured for the purpose if the surface soil Is not rich enough of itself. Have as many substantial stakes prepar- ed as there are trees to be planted, dropping one at each hole and af- ter the trees are set in place drive a stake down some two or three inches from the body of the tree, fill up the hole nearly full with
 fine earth, adding water as it is being thrown in until within an inch or so of the surface, after which complete the filling up with dry earth. Now secure each tree to its stake by band of twist ed straw wrapped once around the body of the tree before tying to the stake, to prevent rubbing.
 This is all that is necessary, un- til the spring following, when the ground should be well cultivated, but no crop planted thereon until the spring thereafter, when tue ground should be liberally manur- ed with Il compost made of swamp muck, if procurable, stable man ure and ashes. and planted in some hood crop-corn being about the best, as its cultivation is exactly what the trees will want. Follow the above course for couple of years, care being taken during the time that no kind of stock other than hogs are ever allowed to en- ter the same. It costs too much to set out an orchard unless it is done right and the trees properly cultivated and attended afterwards at least for the first few years after being planted.-Baltimore Sun.

Torture for the Sake of Small
 Feet,

"Women have a perfect craze for small feet" said Philadelphia shoemaker to a reporter. "Yes, sir, a complete craze" If feet of cer- tain size and shape are good enough for Dame Nature, why they should not be good enough for women 1 don't know. Now, l serve thousands of women with foot wear, and 1 can just count on my fingers the number of my fe- male customers who have sufficient common sense, let alone courage, to cover their feet with size net calculated to deform their feet, or, at least, not likely to give them pain or cause them premature ia tigue when walking. Very few women really can wear smaller shoes than from what we call 4s to 5s. There are. of course, some little women who can get into 2s and & with comfort; but 1 am speaking of the woman of average night and limb. Extremes of sta ture, both tall and short, are met with emergency sizes, and we have in stock women's shoes run hing from Is to Ss. In case of one of the midget5 or elephantine- footed girls from the freak mu- seums coming here for shoes we should have to make to order, of course.
 Now here is last of the pre- sent fashionable pointed-toe, mar row-soled shoe and another last of q common-sense sole, which 1 place side by side, thus Take q good look at them and then you will see how gradually the narrow pointed shoe causes the double-up toes of the casts just showed you"
 Yes, but there are plenty of girls and women who wear such pointed shoes, and l am sure they do not suffer"
 "Ah, but they did. They have got used to it, just as the Chinese woman gets used to tho agony of her pedal deforlnity. There is hardly a woman in the city who does not disguise the number she wears for shoes as carefully as, sooner or later, she disguises the years of her age; they always go back size. Come here minute"
 At the end of q bench comedy looking but vain woman WAS sit ting earnestly endeavoring to get her huge foot into satin slipper ! three or four sizes too small for her Finally, after tryingfrom 4s up, sue went away with d pair of seven and a half. Her right size is about eight" remarked the shoe maker, shutting up his money drawer after making change.
